I only went out to pay the paper bill

I only nipped out to settle the paper bill

and ended up coming home wearing this cobalt blue wool jumper

from the RSPCA shop

The brooch is the one I made at my craft group 

a couple of weeks ago and the cardi is part of

a handknitted vintage twinset.

I've got a bit of a knitting bug (better than the cold bug thats flying around)

and have started another triangle shawl.

This lovely stripey jumper had to come home with me from the 

RSPCA shop too for the buttons alone.

And at £8 it was very difficult to leave this wool coat behind,

so I didn't.  Like I need another coat and it does match

my vintage leather gloves perfectly.

Thanks for popping by

Some fat bloke with no vest

 Happy nearly weekend day

 and the ladies over at Annie's Friday Smiles.

There's not much going on in the garden yet

other than these beautiful Snowdrops

that have been in there for years and we 

now have three clumps of them.

Apart  from that there's this crazy duck 

who looks like she has crashed in after 

a night of debauchery at a hen do

And there's this fat bloke with no vest on.

He must be frozen.  Although looking at his 

peeling skin he might have had to much sun.

So its over to Annie's now to see what 

she has to share with us.

Pattern overload ...

It's pattern overload today

Pattern on my tights from www.gipsytights.com

Different patterns on both sides of my reversible skirt from 

British designer/creator Stefania www.loudandproudlondon.com

Pattern on my vintage find handknit cardigan (part of a twinset)

from Stockport Vintage Village's - Garbo Vintage.

Maggie has fantastic stock.  That's who I got my antique

petticoat off, that I am always flashing 

 There's pattern on this cotton blouse that I found in the charity shop.

And the reason for this overload of textures is because I finished knitting the triangle

shawl I started last week.

Here's a picture of the back of it.

The wool is by King Cole and the range is Opium,

Colour - Leaf

I got it from a local wool shop that has been there 

for years and the ladies are fantastic and don't make

you feel like an idiot when you haven't a clue what you

are doing.

Just to add even more to the concoction I got these Texting Mitts

from a local company www.purplepossum.co.uk

They are only up the road from me in Burnley, Lancashire.

Love how they jumped on the techie bandwagon with their name for them

Boots by Fly London - colour Camel

We are off to the pub tonight for tea with the neighbours.

Hope I don't make their eyes go funny with my clobber

I am going to have a go at this next

Wish me luck

What's on my workdesk ......

Hello fellow deskhoppers

This week I took it into my head that I wanted to knit a triangle shawl 

so I took myself off to the local wool shop and this is how far I've got.  

As you can see I am not the fastest knitter on the planet.

Then on Monday a friend asked me round for a

bit of lunch and an afternoon of crafting

So using scraps of material, some hand and machine 

stitching I made this little hanging

And now its back to the knitting.

Wish me luck
